Chapter 87: The Unfortunate Doctor

In the night color outside the window, it was actually the garden of the Church of Dawn. Xia De could see the huge holy emblem of 【Mr. Dawn】 composed of blooming flowers in the middle of the garden from the window, and the holy emblem was illuminated by a circle of candles at the edge of the flower bed.

He stared blankly at the scene of the saint preaching to believers by the river, but before he could make a sigh similar to "unfamiliar ceiling," a voice came from the side:

"The power when the doctor used the Word of Sublimation was also there, and it was a bit too terrifying."

"That is of course. Usually, using the Word of Sublimation requires large rituals and magic potions to cooperate to exert the strongest power. And even if it is used with preparation, it inevitably leads to permanent decay of lifespan, decline of power, and a decrease in mental resistance in the short term. There is even a saying that using the power of the Word of Sublimation will make inscribing spirit runes more difficult. Bill used it forcibly with a heart of certain death this time. If it weren't for your spell, his situation would probably be even worse. I guess the woman who confronted us at the time didn't expect him to be so crazy."

The priest sighed.

"Then how many times has the doctor used the Word of Sublimation?"

Xia De asked again, and then got the answer that it was only the first time.

After asking about the doctor's situation, he talked about the other two girls in the group:

"Is Miss Anate with Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha now? May I ask if you know Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's address? I think I should go see them."

Actually, he couldn't let go of the matters of the "Whispering Poem" and the "Thirteen Chosen Ones," and he wanted to see the purple-eyed diviner immediately.

"Can't we see them when we go to see Bill tomorrow?"

Although the old priest said so, he still gave the address, and then continued the previous topic:

"The situation last night was not bad. Anate terminated the ritual in time, and you didn't collapse in front of the evil god. Even the 'Lady Lasoya' who saw our faces was killed by you."

The conversation reached this point, finally arriving at the strike under the silver moon last night. Xia De deliberated on his words and wanted to speak, but the old priest shook his head, with an expression of 'I understand you':

"Everyone has their own secrets, just like I have secrets I cannot tell you, so if you don't want to explain, you don't need to explain. We will keep secrets for you; no one will know that the person under the silver moon was you.

But I want to advise you, young man, power has a price. I don't know what price you paid to do that kind of thing last night, but you must not be tempted by power."

"Yes, sir."

Xia De answered very seriously, and couldn't help but ask:

"Since you mentioned that Lady Lasoya died, what about the Silver-Eyed One? Has 【Mercury Blood】 been destroyed because of this?"

He still remembered that the Silver-Eyed One was protecting Lady Lasoya "Madam" at the time.

"The Silver-Eyed One was severely injured, and before the tenth-ring mages of this archdiocese arrived, he ran away from the church's encirclement. Not long after you woke up, I heard news that the church suspects that the 【Blood Spirit School】 that ran to the New Continent decades ago sent people to help them. Ha~ another group of crazier lunatics."

Xia De had heard the two professors of Saint Byron's mention the 【Blood Spirit School】, and the man who fired the gun under the grape trellis yesterday had also mentioned it.

"But no one knows what we few did, so there is no need to worry about being retaliated against by 【Mercury Blood】 or the cultists who believe in the evil god 【Lord of the Blood Feast】. Let the church's Ring Mages worry about this kind of thing; the remaining matters have nothing to do with us. The ritual to summon that evil god needs to satisfy many complex conditions, such as 'Gluttonous Person', 'Night Banquet', etc. There won't be any more things in the short term, which is very good."

The old priest nodded, but his face was still worried:

"It's just that more than one person saw you kick that foot last night. The church actually thinks you are a twelfth-ring or even thirteenth-ring mage, which is truly a headache. In the next few months, I'm afraid you have to be careful not to be linked to us. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly.

But you did well. There was a mask on your face, the clothes on your body were not your own, and you even remembered to use illusion to pull the silver moon behind you to cover your figure. The church now calls you the 'Masked Man Under the Silver Moon' and also pushed the headless Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi corpse in the garden maze onto you. The church thinks you are a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi proficient in the miracle elements of 【Silver Moon】... Detective, did you want to do this for a long time? That's why you were so well prepared, even bringing 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice】, making it impossible for the church to divine your identity."

When asking the last sentence, the old priest's tone became relaxed.

"No, it was just a coincidence."

Xia De shook his head and said. Everything last night was caused by the good luck caused by the dice. Unless the attack of fate was rebounded again, this kind of thing wouldn't happen again.

He stopped stroking Little Mia and looked at his hands in the orange cat's dissatisfied eyes:

"The power last night... indeed cannot be used again, I think I won't miss that kind of power..."

The old priest revealed an 'as expected' expression.

Xia De was actually very guilty about deceiving his friends, but the matter of the path of divine sublimation absolutely could not be known by others. Becoming a god had a temptation for everyone, and if this path could only be walked by himself, Xia De wouldn't let anyone know this secret.

"You understand the price of power, but having power is certainly not a fault. That kick of yours last night was quite outstanding. I think after this incident, your understanding of your core spirit rune will probably be deeper, and you might even have the opportunity to create strange techniques yourself."

Priest Ao Gu Si's tone had a few more points of lightness. He walked to the clothes rack in the room to get an outer coat for Xia De (Note):

"So the ending last night was actually quite good. We worked together to stop the evil god, and actually didn't expose our identities. You killed Lady Lasoya, experienced power, and the price was just sleeping for a day. I really want to pray to my Lord 【Mr. Dawn】; this is truly incomparable luck."

Of course, there were also imperfect things. Doctor Shi Nai De didn't get the 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】, and the high-value bounty on "Lady Lasoya," whom Xia De killed, and that relic ring, he certainly couldn't get either.

But there was nothing perfect in the world. Now that everyone was safe and sound, it was already quite good.

Moreover, compared to gold pounds and that ring, he now had a more important goal, a goal more important than becoming very wealthy in this steam era:

"Divinity... twelve sublimations... becoming a god..."

The priest didn't know what Xia De was thinking, and was still talking to himself:

"Speaking of which, last night was really a coincidence. The five of us actually appeared there without prior consultation."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

This shouldn't have been caused by his "luck," after all, it would have been better if the others hadn't appeared.

"But sure enough, Bill still has the worst luck."

The priest shook his head and sighed.

"Priest, what does this mean?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"Just like before, if everyone goes to act together, if one person is injured, it's highly likely to be Bill. If many people are injured, then the one most severely injured is highly likely to be Bill. That he could meet you and smoothly let you join our group is probably the luckiest thing he has experienced this year. Oh, may God bless him." ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
